1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cytotoxic T cells (CTL) play a central role in the control of viral infections. Their antiviral activity can be mediated by at least two cytotoxic pathways, namely, the granule exocytosis pathway, involving perforin and granzymes, and the Fas-FasL pathway. However, the viral factor(s) that influences the selection of one or the other pathway for pathogen control is elusive. Here we investigate the role of viral replication levels in the induction and activation of CTL, including their effector potential, during acute Friend murine leukemia virus (F-MuLV) infection. F-MuLV inoculation results in a low-level infection of adult C57BL/6 mice that is enhanced about 500-fold upon coinfection with the spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV). Both the low- and high-level F-MuLV infections generated CD8+ effector T cells that were essential for the control of viral replication. However, the low-level infection induced CD8+ T cells expressing solely FasL but not the cytotoxic molecules granzymes A and B, whereas the high-level infection resulted in induction of CD8+ effector T cells secreting molecules of the granule exocytosis pathway. By using knockout mouse strains deficient in one or the other cytotoxic pathway, we found that low-level viral replication was controlled by CTL that expressed FasL but control of high-level viral replication required perforin and granzymes. Additional studies, in which F-MuLV replication was enhanced experimentally in the absence of SFFV coinfection, supported the notion that only the replication level of F-MuLV was the critical factor that determined the differential expression of cytotoxic molecules by CD8+ T cells and the pathway of CTL cytotoxicity.
